Our Eco-Friendly Auto Shop

Here at Urban Autocare, we do our utmost to ensure that our practices are eco-friendly. Here at our Denver and Lakewood auto shops, we’ve implemented a few processes and practices that help us to ensure that our efforts are as “green” and environmentally friendly as possible, so you can rest assured that work performed on your vehicle won’t prove hazardous to the environment. We recycle parts and waste, we recycle used oil, we’re a paperless shop, and of course, we do our best to keep used vehicles on the road. If you’re curious about our efforts to keep our auto shops eco-friendly, feel free to reach out to us to learn more. You can also continue reading for additional details about our environmentally friendly practices.

We Recycle Waste, Parts, & Oil

Whether you’re coming in to the shop for a parts replacement, an oil change, or other services, you can rest assured that we aim to keep parts, oil, and other would-be waste from ending up in the landfill. We recycle as much waste as we can around the shop, including boxes, paper, plastic, cans, you name it. If it doesn’t have to end up in the landfill, we do our part to make sure it cycles through a recycling facility. We also recycle parts, including metal components that are difficult to mine from the earth and refine — that saves labor, energy, and pollution costs that would otherwise come from generating these metals. If you’re bringing your vehicle into the shop, and need to have your radiator swapped out, for instance, then you can rest assured that your old radiator will be recycled, so that its valuable metal isn’t lost to a landfill. Like metal, oil is a fairly difficult resource to obtain and refine. When we swap out your vehicle’s motor oil, we’ll catch every drop of old oil, and recycle it properly. Old oil can be refined again, and it can be used to create a number of products, including asphalt and petroleum products. Once again, recycling this oil is far less impactful on the environment than obtaining and refining crude oil — so we’re happy to recycle your oil on your behalf, to keep your car’s impact low.

We’re a Paperless Auto Shop

While other, traditional auto shops stick to paper for receipts, parts, and other documents, we’re continually making efforts to reduce the amount of paper that we utilize in our day to day operations. Instead of utilizing paper for all of our shop management operations, we’re switching to an electronic system, so that we can keep from printing sheet after sheet of information that can be made available through our computer network. It’s just one more small step that we’re taking to reduce our impact and improve our efficiency.
